Voyage en voiture et ski de randonnée à Hokkaido

Worry-free adventure. You just need to focus on enjoying the pow! Despite being already late in the season (1st week of march 2025), we chased fresh powder based on recent snow reports and forecasts. We enjoyed fresh snow pretty much everyday even if it did not fall a single flake in Nisekko area where we stayed. Our guide, Miro, was exceptional. A skilled skier and true snow hunter. He was good at chosing the right spot for skiing everyday and finding the right line on the backbowls. Furthermore, his positive attitude made every moment enjoyable, and skiing with him was a highlight The stay at THE SLOPE Guesthouse was also another highlight of the trip. Newly renovated and very comfortable with all needed facilities and very kind and friendly host. The stay was topped with superb breakfast with home baked food cooked by Lulu. All in all, 100% recommended.

We had an amazing skiing experience with Sherpas Ride! Our road trip started with a few fresh snow days in Kutchan, offering a wonderful mix of backcountry and resort skiing. We reached the summits of Iwaonupuri, Shiribetsu, and Annupuri—truly unforgettable adventures! Our accommodation in Kutchan, conveniently located near a Seven-Eleven, provided easy access to Onigiris for our tours. The place was clean and spacious, though we did notice the lack of hangers. Thor from Sherpas Rides breakfasts were a real highlight, featuring delicious mini pancakes, homemade granola and yogurt—a perfect start to our skiing days. On one of our evenings we got a presentation from a Japanese women about Japan and Hokkaido. After four days, we continued on to Furano. Along the way, we visited the harbor city of Otaru. It was quite cold and there was not that much to explore. In Furano, we enjoyed another 3.5 days of incredible backcountry skiing. One highlight was our visit to the fumaroles near the Asahidake summit—absolutely stunning! Unfortunately, the visibility that day didn’t allow us to reach the summit, but the experience was still remarkable. Our accommodation in Furano was a lovely Japanese-style hotel. Throughout the journey, we always felt safe and well taken care of with our guide, Peter. He consistently found us the best powder! Our group was joined in Kutchan from Jara a professional Photographer for two days who made stunning skiing pictures, we could buy by the end of the trip. We only brought our skiing boots from home to Japan and Sherpas ride provided quite nice and new Kästle Skis! Sherpas Ride delivered an exceptional experience, and we’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for an unforgettable skiing adventure.

Great trip, very professionally managed. Really good guiding by the team, they new the places well and could always find fresh pow even in tricky conditions. Also managed the group well allowing all participants to get a great experience even if people were skiing on different levels.

Booked the Hokkaido Roadtrip - this can be described in one word: Fantastic! I would book this trip again immediately! Super organized camp with excellent powderlines. Guides are also trying very hard to put together an alternative program (ski tours) if it happens that there is no fresh snow for a few days. Really absolutely recommendable Trip to Japan with all-round care.

Even If snow conditions aren't the best ones in the season the guides will always tAke you for the fresh pow! ( Japow:) . Great 10 days of freeriding and enjoying japanese food,onsen and countryside of Hokkaidó.
